Banjo Arrived Today!

Just wanted to let you know that my Banjo arrived today. I am glad I paid the extra and got the Artisan. It is beautiful and the sound is awesome like I knew it would be. Thanks again and if i find anyone in need of a banjo I will send them your way for sure.

It was worth the wait.

The Southern Jumbo arrived late yesterday, and I let it warm up overnight before opening the case this morning. It’s in great shape, and sounds fine, as advertised! It was worth the wait. I appreciate all your assistance with this purchase, and thank you for the careful packing!

Completely Satisfied…As Always

Grant…received my Alhambra
CS-3 CW crossover guitar yesterday safe and sound.
I am more than pleased with it. Your recommendation was spot on.
I’m enjoying playing it, in fact, can’t seem to put it down! Your professional setup is perfect.
As you described, it is beautifully constructed and the sound is very much to my liking.
I have purchased other guitars over the years from The 12th Fret but this purchase was all completed without even having to drop by in person. Typically, I would want to play a guitar prior to purchase, but I trusted your judgement and experience to guide me and I am…
Completely Satisfied…As Always.
Thanks again Grant.

Community support

Myself and some of my mates have developed a charitable organization in Toronto called Guitars for Kids Toronto. We provide new and previously loved guitars to underprivileged kids in Toronto through Big Brothers and Sisters. I was looking for a “drop-off” depot in the east-end, where guitar donations could be left for pick-up.
If you have been to 12th Fret, you would know that they do not have much room for stocking additional gear – especially not for sale gear!
Because 12th Fret saw the value in community support…they graciously signed up to become a drop-off centre and have helped to promote GfK Toronto through their newsletters, web pages and social outlets!
Special thanks to Vicki, Grant, Brian and the team for your continued support!
